We all blipped.
I'm 53. Spiritually and mentally, I haven't aged a day in thirty years.
But nobody likes you when you’re 23
50 and yes, I’m there with you. I am really the same person with perhaps more experience and wisdom. I think that people who get old are born that way.
Some decades, you don't age at all. Some days, you age decades.
I'm almost 34 and my life so far was and still is not worth it so far, so I stopped counting at 20. Unfortunately my body didn't and already began slow disassembly.
25-45 in my opinion
Agree, at 36 I feel like I'm almost ready to turn 25 soon!
Thanks, maybe I can finally live my 30s more like I thought they'd go.
I go the other way. My 20s were filled with good things yes, but also many embarrassing life lessons where I didn't read the room appropriately or missed possible opportunities for romantic relationships. I had a short period of doing silly things to try to impress others. I spent money on stupid shit, and stayed at a job for way too long before finally moving on which put me years behind in my career. I got addicted to World of Warcraft for an entire year and accomplished absolutely nothing with my life. I never physically injured anyone or committed crimes, but I could have been a better version of myself. I do value my 20s, but really because of all the lessons I learned that made me a better person in the years after.
You can keep my 20s, thanks. My 30s were pretty excellent though and I would probably be okay being 33-37 until I die a regularly human lifespan.
I’m 47 and still in my 20s. I feel ya.
Although, I have quit doing coke. or… Rather… I can no longer afford it.
Still have a mohawk, though
What could Leo DeCaprio Jr. Possibly mean by this?
Thanks mate, now I gotta hit my 30s again
